Prince of Whales Whale and Marine Wildlife Adventures with Ferry

Suit up in a Mustang Survival Suit, take a selfie, and get on board one of their 12-passenger Zodiacs for the most intimate, adrenaline-pumping whale-watching adventure! Hold on to your hat and brace yourself for a refreshing spray of sea air as the Zodiac takes off alongside harbor planes, cutting through Victoria's pristine waters in search of orcas and humpback whales. With a seasoned captain as your guide, you’re in safe hands.

This is a 3 to 3.5 hour fully guided tour.

It gets cold out on the water, so windbreaker jackets, sweaters, long pants, and closed-toe shoes are recommended. Prince of Whales will also provide you with warm all-weather exposure suits to wear on top of your clothes. Gloves & hats will also be available upon request.

It’s also a good idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a tight-fitting hat, a camera to capture some memorable moments and, above all, your sense of adventure!
